I go back to teaching tomorrow. I'm starting at a new school and will be teaching 8-12th graders (my principal dumped an 8th grade class on me at the last second).

I think I'm ready for it. The school is high-poverty, and mostly white (so basically the opposite of me).

The guy that I replaced worked at the school for 35 years lmao, so hopefully the kids aren't too disappointed in having me.

If you make an intelligent post, people tend to ignore it because they only respond to stupid. Don't believe me? Just look at most of the chained replies.

Also it's crazy to me you don't start until after Labor Day. Schools around here start towards the beginning of August now

Well you're probably not going to have any of his former students anyway.

Good luck man.

I go back to teaching tomorrow, too. Same school as the last several years. Mostly grade 9 to 12 math, general science, and physics. The guy I replaced was also there for like 25 years and the students were thrilled that I replaced him, lmao.

We were back all last week for prep and professional development, but tomorrow is when the kids first arrive.

I'm heading out to my school later today to get some last minute printing done, but otherwise hoping to mostly just relax today.

I miss summer vacation.

As much as I enjoy having a paycheck, I'd love to just kickback for a couple months and just relax. Travel around, eat some good food, and get some projects done.

Is there anyone that wouldn't enjoy doing that?

On a teacher's paycheck, you'll be doing at most, one of those things.

But yeah, it has its upside for sure. With kids these days, teachers need that time off.

Not rich yet, but middle class for sure.

Ha, love that game so much, but doing that would get me fired probably.

Dude, we should colab. I'm doing all the science at the school (it's a tiny school).WastelandCowboy posted...

I get paid in the summer and can totally travel and do all those things. Teachers get paid decently in my state, plus I have my masters which bumps me up the pay scale.

Depends on where you work. I get paid decently (at least decently for me, but I don't live a lavish life style). Plus I get like 3 months off a year.

I might honestly try to get a part time job next summer

I literally think of that quote every time I go back to school.

I actually will since I'll be the only science teacher at the high school

That's certainly true. My mom took a pretty big hit moving from Ohio to Florida.

Florida education suuuucks.

I used to make a topic like that all the time when summer vacation was over. Then I stopped having summer vacations.

I miss teaching in a state where school starts in September. Tomorrow will be the start of my 5th week. I also have a friend that's starting his 8th week already. Being done in May is pretty nice, though.

I don't think there is much worthwhile overlap between the Alberta curriculum and the US curriculum, lol. My first unit I'm starting with in Science 9 is Space Exploration.
